My mother, Lillian Stiles was tragically killed in her own yard on November 26, 2005 by six pit bull/rottweiler mixed breed dogs. The non-profit organization, Texas Families Against Dangerous Dogs, TXFADD was created by her family and friends to change the laws in Texas so that dog owners can be held accountable for serious injuries or deaths caused by their dogs.

Lillian's family and friends were surprised to find that the laws in Texas do not, in many cases, hold the dog's owner responsible for injuries - even deaths- caused by their dogs. In general, dogs are allowed a "first bite" or free bite in Texas - even if the bite causes serious injury or death! For the safety of the citizens of Texas, this must be changed.

This website was created to gather dog bite victims along with their family, friends, and other interested parties to build a strong voice to address the Texas legislative process. There are people all over the state of Texas that are outraged by dog attacks and want appropriate changes in the laws dealing with dogs. When you register with TXFADD you will become a part of this effort. We will keep you up to date on our progress and notified you of upcoming legislation and alert you to ways let your voice be heard on this important issue at the capitol in Austin, Texas.
